MAYVILLE – Thirty-five members of the Mayville Senior Citizens and four guests enjoyed a hot dog picnic luncheon at the VFW in Mayville on July 18. The hot dogs were prepared and donated by the VFW.

After the invocation by Dianne Goodrich, the group sang happy birthday to the July birthday people — Kathleen Rock, Linda Anderson, Peg Skillman and Donna Hensley. Since it was Linda’s birthday, Sharon Frudd baked the cake.

After five short stories, Devotional chairperson, Dianne Goodrich, led us in the Lord’s Prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. Jeff Wagner, President, called the meeting to order.

Fred Himes made a motion to accept the secretary’s report as given; seconded by Bonnie Johnson; carried. No correspondence. The treasurer, Kathie Sukalac, gave the treasurer’s report. Linda Anderson made the motion to accept the report; seconded by Joyce Ayers; carried.

Jeff reminded the group there would be no meeting on Sept. 5, the group would be having Sloppy Joes on Aug. 15, and that people needed to sign up and pay for the chicken barbecue on Sept. 21.

Tour Director, Becky Dalziel, reported 33 people were going on the Buffalo River Cruise.

Bill Tornstrom, Program Director, said the guest speaker at the next meeting, Aug. 15, will be Attorney at law Elizabeth Hall. She will be speaking on real estate, will and trust drafting, estate planning, etc. and the timely fashion things needed to be done. Bring your questions about your legal rights and when it needs to happen.

The kitchen committee, Joyce Ayers, Bonnie Johnson, and Dolly Gilbert, was thanked.

Our three guests, Nancy, Dan and Anne Dimicco, were welcomed. Dana Corwin, incoming director of the Office for the Aging, spoke to the group regarding the Eligibility for the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program being offered through an allotment by the State. If your income falls within the guidelines, you can get coupons worth $25 for fresh produce from a farmers’ market. The market needs to be certified. If the farmer himself/herself is certified by the state, one can use the coupons with that farmer. Presently, the Jamestown and Lakewood Farmers’ Market are the only two markets registered in the state.

Door prizes were won by Dan Dimicco, Darlene Harper, David Thorp, Rita Himes, and Bonnie Johnson. The lottery was won by Lois Malloy with a bonus of $4 donated by Jeff.

The meeting was then turned over to John Cross who gave a great performance by playing jazz on the saxophone. He played many familiar tunes and promoted financial literacy along the way.

Please bring a dish to pass to the Aug. 15 meeting.
